The quick disconnect design makes installation easy, and the heat shrink material ensures a tight seal, protecting your connections from moisture, dust, and corrosion. The assortment of sizes included in the kit ensures that you’ll have the right connector for different wire gauges. Whether you're working on car electronics, home wiring projects, or anything in between, this kit offers a convenient and professional solution. Highly recommended for anyone in need of quality, reliable electrical connectors!

The metal on these connectors is very thin. To get an idea how thin, look at the male spade part and realize that it is twice the thickness of the metal used--it is folded over with a crease on each side and a joint in the middle. I would not use these for connections that are plugged and unplugged a lot because I expect they will bend and loosen over time (the plug/unplug part, not the crimp/heatshrink part). I tried a test terminal with a decent quality "standard" crimping tool (before my heatshrink connector crimping tool arrived) and it was a disaster. The part of the tool that crimps the insulating sleeve mangled the sleeve and the metal did not get crimped well enough to hold the wire against a gentle pull. I did not trust the electrical connection of the connector even though the heatshrink action would keep the wire attached to the terminal. I waited to submit a negative review and return the connectors until my heatshrink specific crimping tool (a Haisstronica HS-8327) arrived--and it changed everything. The crimp held against a moderate tug so that I trust the electrical contact between the wire and the connector. Once heatshrunk, the wire to terminal connection appears waterproof and nearly indestructible. These do take quite a bit of heat and time to shrink. I use a decent heat gun on low setting so I can control the shrink without melting the wire insulation. I find the key is to keep heating until I see the adhesive start to ooze out around the wire insulation. If the connector shell extends past the end of the female part of the connector I have to be careful to not over shrink that part or it shrinks enough that the mating connector can't be plugged in. This can be fixed by carefully cutting off the extra shell with side or flush cutters, but it is not easy to do well. Given the quantity, price and that they can be made to work very well for most uses, I believe these are an amazing value.

Great connectors

Nice assortment, and heat shrink was nice.

the heat shrink connections on amazon are hit and miss. Most of the time they are cheap and not worth the amount. These worked well and the heatsink is long enough to cover the wire correctly. The are sized correctly and for the gage they clam. You would be surprised how often others are not the correct diameter and slip right off are do not crimp correctly causing you to waste many before on holds.

These are a good value. You get plenty for the price. These aren't so cheap they fall apart and get all crumbly over time. Follow these pro-tips to get them on, staying nice: 1. Don't twist the wire before you put it in the connector. You don't want a point sticking out at the end that won't get crimped because it will only crimp the widest spot and make the whole joint weaker. Make an even strip of the wire over a 1/4 but nor more than half an inch (5/16ths to 3/8ths is usually perfect). Make sure the wire is together and not all frayed and slip it into the butt connector and crimp. Whatever you do make sure there is no exposed wire outside the connector sleeve. 2. Don't over crimp by going all ham on it and crushing the butt connector to oblivion. This will actually oblong the connector and might cause it to mushroom and cause a weak crimp. 3. Once you get a good crip, heat these things up and they will shrink right into place and the glue that is in them will seal right up and you'll have a nice water tight connection. Use a heat-gun if you can rather than a lighter or a torch and make sure to move the wire over the heat-gun or the heat-gun over the wire, but don't let one point get too hot. 4. If you must use a flame from a torch or a lighter, go slow, and move it around a lot. Hold the wire above the flame rotating the wire to get a nice even heat and shrink right into place. Do you best not to burn it because if you do, they get brittle and can leak or crack over time. Last Pro-Tip: When working in a cramped space, if you are using a flame from a torch or lighter or matches or whatever because you have no other choice, what I do is I wrap some quality aluminum foil around what I'm heating. In a confined space where the flame must get right up close to the wire where it will come in direct contact with the connector, the aluminum foil does a pretty good spreading out the heat AND it stops it from directly burning the connector or wire if you don't go nuts. This helps get the backside of the wire you might not be able to reach as well giving you a nice even seal without having to heat up one side way too hot. Enjoy!

todo ok

Le diamètre du plastique de passage de câbles sont tous identiques quelle que soit la couleur ce qui fait que lors du chauffage pour rétracter ce plastique autour du câble cela devient difficile pour les 2 diamètres les plus petits avec le risque de ne pas avoir d'efficacité dans l'étanchéité recherché. Ceci n'empêche pas que les plastiques sont bien thermo rétractable.

Good

work great

Excellent quality terminals! The heat shrink tubing seals tightly and provides solid, waterproof connections. Crimping is easy and secure. Comes neatly organized in a sturdy box with a good variety of sizes. Great value for my boat!
